IDEA Grant

The district has reserved money to fund or partially fund deserving proposals that will benefit the students, staff, or school community. Proposals may be forwarded from individual teachers or a group of teachers.

Applications are to be directed to Maureen Palmer, administrative assistant to the district administrator.

The application form should include the following information:

A description of the project and its purpose

How it will benefit staff, students and/or the school community

An outline of the costs and how the money would be spent

Whether the applicant(s) would accept partial funding

It is hoped these grants will provide the district and its staff with some excellent models or pilots which can be replicated in other classrooms or across the district to improve instruction and learning. Please give serious consideration to developing a proposal.

Grants that are innovative and do not replicate or extend existing programs or projects in the district have the greatest chance of being approved.
